Tom Coughlin

11-26-2006, 09:03 PM

After the NY Giants loss today, Coughlin during the press conference critized his quarterback Eli Manning for his decision to try and make a play and throw the ball instead of throwing it away when there seemed to be no one open. This criticsm comes after Coughlin had reprimanded Tiki Barber for airing the teams dirty laundry to the media. Barber's criticsm was not the first of this season as previously he and Jeremy Shockey sharply criticized Coughlin after their shellacking by the Seattle Seahawks in week 3.

The reason for this post is that I think that if Coughlin can't right this ship and start getting the Giants back on the winning track that he will be fired at the end of the season. The team seems to be falling apart with players criticizing Coughling and vise-versa.

If they finish under .500, I'd fire him. I think he's starting to lose control over the team. I don't think his players respect him, nor do I think he respects the players.

Exactly the point I was trying to get across when I posted this topic. I think when that happens you have to let a coach go.

Jim Mora Jr. should be fired as well then.

The whole world loves neophyte athletic tight end Jimmy Graham from Miami with the 95th pick. "Best pick in the draft,'' one AFC coach told me. "Give him time, and in that offense, he'll be better than [Jeremy] Shockey by the start of next year.''

I think Coughlin should be fired, even if the Giants CAN regroup. He has shown a propensity for his team being wildly inconsistent while vastly underachieving. He has shown that he cannot fill his coaching staff with quality guys. Hufnagel and Coughlin have been a joke in the development of Eli. Tim Lewis is a complete joke. Also, the Giants have more players questioning the coaches than probably any other players in the NFL, combined. That really tells ya something.

Coughlin did a nice job righting the ship from what NY Giant Football had become, but I think he has fulfilled his shelf life in NY regardless of what happens the rest of the season (barring unforeseen miracle).

My problem with Coughlin is that he won't admit when he's wrong. When players say they were outplayed and outcoach like Tiki in the playoffs last season and Shockey after the Seahawks Coughlin makes a huge deal out of it and tries to point the finger at the players not playing up to par. If you get 40 points scored on you that quickly like the Seahawks did and you get blown out in the playoffs like that, then face it YOU GOT OUTCOACHED you can blame most of it on the players but when you get owned in such magnitude some of the blame lies on the coach's shoulders.
